In ancient Egypt, the Princess Ananka died and was placed in her tomb. Her lover Prince Kharis was also buried even though … Kharis never really died. For defying Egypt’s surly demon gods, he was mummy-wrapped and buried alive. Through the centuries, fanatical High Priests kept him alive with Tana fluid to guard Ananka’s resting place.
In the 20th century, Kharis emerged from his grave to slay tomb invaders on both Egyptian sand and American soil—and he instantly won a spot in the top ranks of the Universal Monsterverse.
Relive the legendary 1940s fright flicks that keep fans shaking like a Tana leaf: The Mummy’s Hand, with Tom Tyler as Kharis, and The Mummy’s Tomb, The Mummy’s Ghost and The Mummy’s Curse with Lon Chaney. This book tells the full story of this creepy quartet with production histories, moviemaker memories, anecdotes, factoids, fotos and good old-fashioned fun.
